Sex Positions and Much Frustration

Hey ladies! TMI (too much information) topic ahead! So I’m almost 17 weeks and I’m already finding lots of positions really uncomfortable, like all of our go to’s! It hurts my belly when he lays on top of me already! Our favorite is doggy style but the angle he likes and gets him to finish, where his penis is angling down towards my g-spot and cervix is extremely painful. This position also means he’s putting tons of weight on me and pushing me down which also hurts my belly. The only position that feels good to me is doggy style with his penis angled upwards towards the back of my vagina. This all really sucks because DH (dear husband) and I really enjoy sex and are used to having it 3-5 times a week. We’re both just frustrated and he gets upset and then I cry because none of this is either of our fault. I just want to enjoy pregnant sex like I did with my last two pregnancies and sex totally sucks right now 😩 anyone having similar issues that has found a position they like or care to share tips?

Top. Havent had sex since we found out. We started having sex last week and it's so uncomfortable. The discomfort of the belly, hes scared to go deep, angled suck. I honestly do not know what other positions are there, it's me laying on the edge of the bed missionary but that becomes discomforting because laying on my back causes my thigh to go numb, spooning but that makes me feel my belly sticks out more and I cant get close to him as I'd like. Reverse cowgirl was good until I felt my stomach get tight and hard and i couldn't do it anymore.

My last 2 pregnancies I never has this problem either so it really does suck.

Idk where it is but I've seen a BBC (BabyCenter) link about positions to try. You definitely should not keep trying those that put you in pain.
You two can compromise. You can do the position that feels good for you. Then do something different but comfortable that works for him.

It sounds like sex is a big part of your relationship so keep trying new things. You may find something amazing that you hadn't thought of before.

Google sex positions with shallow penetration! For me, there's been tons of options that have been way more comfortable than typical deep penetration positions! Belly is going to become a bit of an issue as it gets bigger but by that time hopefully you've picked a few shallow penetration positions you can combine with typical pregnancy positions!

Try laying in your side with him behind you, or maybe him sitting and you sitting on his lap toward him. Doggy style is my favorite and still works for us for now. Sometimes if we do missionary, it’s with me once the edge of the bed with legs up and him standing
